Another vote for 2001-up Triumph Bonneville. $4k Bonnies are kind of rare, but they are out there if you look. I picked up this 2001 (2 owners, 8600 miles) for the wife last weekend for $3800.

26k on 2 wheels in the past year, and less than 5k on 4 wheels. 115 mile round trip commute really runs up the mileage.
